Subject: [PATCH] icon: draw dock dots/stipple at end of wIconPaint for docked
 appicons

Move the appicon_paint_dock_dots call into wIconPaint itself (after
icon_paint), so that ANY repaint of a docked appicon includes dots
and launching stipple. Previously, the dots were only drawn from
wAppIconPaint and the observers, but other repaint paths (pointer
events, window_clear) would erase them.

Remove the now-redundant calls from appearanceObserver and
tileObserver since wIconPaint handles it.
